Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. Founded on women’s struggle against patriarchy, sexism and male violence, we believe that domestic abuse is the result of an abuse of power and control and is rooted in the historical status and inequality of women in society.

As a federation of just over 170 organisations, we provide almost 300 local lifesaving services to women and children. We empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs. We take an intersectional approach to our work to end domestic abuse and stand with other feminist organisations leading the way in eradicating Violence Against Women and Girls.

Information about UK Public Health Register (UKPHR)

UKPHR is a private company limited by guarantee and a registered Charity.

Its register, accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under a statutory scheme, is the definitive indicator of competence of public health specialists and practitioners. The register is available for public inspection and registration is the recognised yardstick of safe, competent practice in the UK.

UKPHR was established in 2003 as a voluntary register for multidisciplinary public health Specialists. It has since developed to be the register of Specialty Registrars and public health Practitioners also.

The governance and operational structure of UKPHR were streamlined in 2013 with the formation of a new, smaller Board. All Board members are directors of the Company and trustees of the charity.

UKPHR’s primary objective is to protect the public by ensuring that only competent public health professionals are registered (quality assurance).

We aim to ensure that registrants maintain high standards of practice after achieving registration, for example through our CPD requirements and our revalidation processes (quality maintenance and enhancement).

Registration is available to public health specialists, to Specialty Registrars, and to public health practitioners working at or above Level 5 (autonomous practice) of the original Public Health Skills & Knowledge Framework.

We have changed the retrospective portfolio assessment route to registration for specialists.

We have reviewed our standards for practitioner registration, partly in response to the revision of the Public Health Skills & Knowledge Framework in 2016.

We require revalidation ofall specialist registrants every 5 years and we will extend this to practitioner registrants as well in 2021.

Registrants work across all the domains of public health, including health improvement, public health healthcare services, health protection, data management and analysis, intelligence and academia.

The Board’s VISION for UKPHR is:

We will protect the public and promote continuous improvement in public health practice by providing a regulatory home for the UK’s public health workforce and assuring registrants’ competence.

The Board’s MISSION is:

To be a self-sustaining and effective regulator for the public health workforce.
